Semi Final 2: Who Else Could Qualify?

While Israel remain the likely winners, Finland’s theatrical staging and strong televote history keep them firmly in contention. 

Austria, currently second in the outright winner market, could see tonight as a critical springboard toward Grand Final success.

Expect countries like Malta and Czechia, priced at long odds, to be fighting hard for one of the final qualification spots.
